Q

What is meant by multi viscosity oil

A

Oil has varying viscosity. When the oil is cold it will have low viscosity . When it warms up the viscosity increase for better lubrication

Q

From what location on a reciprocating engine is the oil temperature usually taken

A

It’s located where it measure the oil temperature before it enter at the hot section. in the dry sump temperature bolt is located anywhere in the oil inlet line between the oil tank and the engine. Wet sump the bulb is located where is senses the temperature after the oil passes through the oil cooler

Q

What type of oil is used in turbine engine lubrication system?

A

Synthetic oil

17
Q

Where can you find a specified grade a oil for particular aircraft

A

Flight manual, highlights, operating handbook

18
Q

What are the two types of oil cooler used in the turbine engine lubrication system?

A

air cooled oil cooler and fuel cool oil cooler

19
Q

What’s the meaning of oil flashpoint and fire point

A

Flashpoint is the temperature at which oil gives off ignitable vapors. Firepoint is the temperature at which there are sufficient vapors to support continuous flame.

20
Q

What is the weight of the aircraft engine oil?

A

About 7.5 pounds per gallon.

21
Q

What is the purpose of oil dilution system?

A

Thins the oil by introducing fuel into the lubrication system, which makes cold starting easier

22
Q

What is the main purpose of engine oil lubricant

A

To reduce friction

23
Q

What is the S.O.A.P

A

Spectrometric oil analysis program that establish trend that measures engine Health

24
Q

Where are carbon seal used in turbine engine

A

Aircraft gearbox, air turbine motor starter and main shaft seal

25
Q

What is the key purpose of lubrication in a turbine engine?

A

Location of the main shaft bearing

26
Q

Where are engine oil filter located?

A

 Between the oil pump output and the engine bearings

27
Q

Why do reciprocating engine require oil with high viscosity index?

A

High viscosity index, allow for easy, starting in cold temperature and prevents oil for becoming too thin at operate temperature to protect the bearing under load

28
Q

What two factors impact fluid viscosity

A

Temperature and pressure auto pressure has very small affect

29
Q

What is the purpose of ashless dispersion oil?

A

To prevent sludge, buildup and oil filters from clogging

30
Q

What is the most critical lubrication points in a gas turbine engine?

A

Turbine bearing

31
Q

Why is an oil tank required to have expansion space

A

Thermal expansion and air in the return oil?

32
Q

Name some areas of turbine engine oil system where screens/filters might be located

A

Oil pressure system, scavenge system, at or just before the oil jet
